ECR Europe Forum & Marketplace
27-29 May 2008 - berlin
Some values never change.
Efficient Consumer Response is as valid now as it was when the ECR principles
were first drawn up more than a decade ago.
The principle of fulfilling consumer
wishes better, faster and at less cost will never date.
But the environment changes — making the annual ECR Forum & Marketplace the
perfect place to find out how ECR moves with the times.
So come to the 13th Forum & Marketplace at the International Congress Centre
in Berlin from May 27-29, 2008, and find out about
Creating sustainable shopping value.

Berlin, the 'must see' city
Wonderful architecture, amazing history, some of the finest museum collections in
the world, and the buzz of a lively, cosmopolitan city: Berlin has it all.
Once the Prussian capital, more recently a city divided, nowadays Berlin thrives
once more as the home of the German parliament, the Bundestag, and the heartbeat
of a unified nation.
For the visitor there is so much to see, from home of parliament, the Reichstag
building,
with its extraordinary glass dome, to the famous Brandenburg Gate. The attractions
are easy to reach, too, by bus, tram or train, and hotel accommodation is plentiful.
All in all, it is a city not to be missed – assuming ECR delegates have time for
sightseeing!
